Hi, I am Nico
Product developer
With a decade of experience in the media industry, I strive to collaborate on projects that positively impact society. My diverse roles have provided a global perspective on product development, making me a valuable asset.
About me
I’ve been educated in Arts school, and I was actually drawing long before it. I soon have started creating designs for print works and for the web, and with the time, develop my first websites and dashboards, until now when I specialize in mobile applications.
There is one way I like to characterize my work:
Get 💩 done. Fast
I write clean and modern JS/TS code with special care for readability, testability, and performance. Since the days when we were all using jQuery until today, I have always stayed inline with the latest libraries and frameworks.
It’s already really nice to meet you
